Dr. Rebecca C. Lee currently serves as an Associate Professor of Nursing at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing where she teaches courses in the RN-BSN, BSN, and PhD programs. She holds advanced certification in Community/Public Health Nursing as well as Advanced Transcultural Nursing and is licensed as a Public Health Clinical Nurse Specialist and registered nurse by the State of Ohio. After earning her PhD in nursing research, Dr. Lee completed postdoctoral training, earning a Certificate in Qualitative Research Methods from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. From August 2015 to July 2017, she served in the appointed role of Director of the Institute for Clinical Inquiry at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. In August 2019, Dr. Lee was appointed as Director of the RN-BSN Online program at the UC College of Nursing. She has completed one-year leadership fellowships in both the Experienced Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy (ENFLA) of Sigma Theta Tau and the Transdisciplinary Research Leadership Program through the UC Office of Research. Dr. Lee has been recognized for her scholarship, including her research and teaching. In 2012, she was inducted as a Transcultural Scholar by the Transcultural Nursing Society. In 2022, she received the Distinguished Nurse Educator Award from Mount St. Joseph University and in 2023 she was named a Fellow in the University of Cincinnati Academy for Teaching & learning. Most recently, she was inducted as a Distinguished Fellow into the National Academies of Practice based on her career of interprofessional research, education, and practice.
In 2024, Dr. Lee joined an international team of transdisciplinary researchers in submitting a grant to the European Commission to explore ways to improve healthcare access for populations experiencing homelessness. Currently, she is engaged in multiple research studies focused on vulnerable populations, both as PI and Co-I, including exploring ED nurses’ experiences caring for homeless populations, food insecurity in college students, and educational strategies to promote cultural competence among nursing students in the care of rural Appalachian populations. Dr. Lee has conducted several funded research projects, made numerous presentations to local, regional, national, and international audiences, and published papers on the social determinants of health, family homelessness, health promotion, human rights, diversity, and cultural competence. Her long-term research goals are to promote the health of vulnerable populations such as those experiencing homelessness through culturally informed research and by conducting health professions workforce development through the lens of the social determinants of health and cultural competence and cultural humility.
